June Word of the Month: Unforgettable

June 2, 2016

hey all!

via*

its finally summer! and i am an upperclassman!!!

so i was thinking, oh my gosh, its june already, so i remembered that i had to set my monthly intention, and here it is…

i hope this june is

unforgettable

i picked the word unforgettable because i hope my summer is unforgettable. this summer i plan on getting my license and being able to drive any place i want (with my parents permission of course!) also its my sister’s last summer before college so i hope that we have some unforgettable experiences! and friends of course, spending more time creating those moments that we love to have together. according to google, unforgettable is an adjective meaning impossible to forget; very memorable

how will i try to be more ‘unforgettable’ this summer?

this month i plan on having fun in my break by doing the things that i love with the people that i love, and by this i will be developing myself more and my own voice will be able to shine as an unforgettable force.

well i hope y’all enjoyed! have a happy thursday and a great start of june!

My Favorite New Beauty Buy! : Palmers Flip Balm

May 12, 2016

hey guys!

whats up? well i seem to be having an incredibly slow week! i just need it to go by faster! well its ALMOST the end of the year, and it seems to be the season for dry lips for me! I don’t know why but they have been getting so dry…

so i want to introduce a new product to you…

palmer’s flip balm,

i know, i know what you are thinking, uh thats like a fake eos, but its not, its actually better than EOS! first of all, it flips open,

flip-balm-ripe-mango.jpg

like so, so you don’t have to worry about losing the top or completely denting your lip balm when you accidentally put the top on wrong. also i have to admit that its really fun to play with , although it probably annoys the heck out of my mother (who just is so enchanted by the design and the flavors!)

I am absolutely in LOVE with their flavors which are coconut (left, green), watermelon (middle, pinkish) and mango (right, orange). the watermelon is so nostalgic for me, it reminds me of my childhood when i was obsessed with eating these watermelon cough drops!

some of my friends have tried these too and are absolutely as in love as i am with these flip balms

so how do you get a chance to try these well…

they sell them at walgreens, walmart, kmart, duane reade, drugstore.com, cvs pharmacy, target, rite aid and of course online at palmers.com!

and…
a Rafflecopter giveaway, please enter my giveaway to be able to win 3 of these lip balms!

i hope you enjoy!

May Word of the Month: Spectacular

May 1, 2016

hey guys!

yay its may! my favorite month because its almost summer, school is wrapping up, and MY BIRTHDAY IS IN MAY!

so lets get started:

the word that i picked for this month is…

spectacular

i picked the word spectacular because that is what i hope my may is SPECTACULAR. the word spectacular (according to google) as an adjective means beautiful in a dramatic and eye-catching way, but as a noun means an event such as a pageant or musical, produced on a large scale and with striking effects.

how will i try to be more spectacular this month?

this month i will plan on focusing on the more spectacular things in life that many people may not usually focus on to day to day little beautiful things, the little spectacular moments in order to make a fully rounded life.

hope you enjoyed this article! have a good day and a start of a good may!

xoxo
